210. French Nandos

20th September 2014, Le Secret, Canary Wharf, London

Le Secret is one of those random little places where I've been planning to go but haven't gotten around to.

It is in Canary Wharf but randomly located on the river away from the business area and away from anything else really. That and the fact that they really only serve chicken makes it weird enough for me to want to go there.

Luckily I get an invite from the Camel to a birthday dinner at "some French place in your area". Her sense of location never fails to impress!

After revisiting my old stomping grounds of the Canary Wharf shopping centre and my old gym, I made my way to the restaurant ready to eat some serious chicken.

Unsure of why the restaurant had it's name in the first place, I did the grave mistake of asking the waiter about it. Apparently it has to do with some sort of 'Secret Sauce'. That was enough to put me into the same sort of fits of laughter as being on the Piccadilly Line towards Cockfosters. Seven years on and that still isn't getting old.

It is a nice little restaurant, cute, clean and chicken loving - but to quote another party member "it's basically posh, French Nando's". I'm not sure the secret sauce  made it all that special. But it did make it funnier, I'll agree with that.

Turns out that not everything French is all that fancy.
